This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 5119 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £33,400, and Kent County Council is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 9112 (Forestry and related workers, Park keeper if duties are mainly maintenance and grounds work), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Kent County Council what the duties actually are.
